| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We established the Enzyme-linked Immunoadosorbent Assay (ELISA) system and the multiplex real-time reverse transcription PCR (mRT-PCR) system for quantifying a single-stranded RNA virus (HcRNAV) that causes a lytic infection in bloom-forming dinoflagellate Heterocapsa circularisquama, and checked its availability to environmental samples. In mRT-PCR, two primer-probe sets targeting separate conserved regions in the HcRNAV genome allowed highly specific detection of HcRNAV. The accuracy of the system was tested using three typical HcRNAV strains by comparing the enumeration results of the mRT-PCR method and two conventional methods, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a most-probable-number (MPN) assay. As a result, estimates obtained via the mRT-PCR method were consistent with those of TEM, indicating that it is a useful method for quantifying HcRNAV. In the ELISA, a monoclonal and polyclonal antibody established became possible to specifically detect the HcRNAV in situ.
